Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Assault on Eagle Wing Castle David led the wolf pack to Eagle Wing Castle, and infiltrated the outer city alone. Perhaps due to the frosty winter, the defenses of Eagle Wing Castle were not strong, and his infiltration encountered no obstacles. After reaching the city wall, he swiftly dealt with the guards and opened the gate, allowing the wolf pack to charge straight into the city, heading towards Eagle Wing Castle. When the wolf pack reached outside the castle, Viscount Eagle Wing was already leading the knight order to the outer city, and the two sides met halfway. Fortunately, after the wolf pack entered Eagle Wing Castle, they did not slaughter the civilians in the outer city, instead heading directly for the inner city, giving him time to intercept! And just as Viscount Eagle Wing gathered the knight order, David, riding the Gray Wolf King, approached the inner city, and they faced each other. "Are you... David?" Viscount Eagle Wing was taken aback upon seeing David. He naturally recognized the Duke of the Frost Wolf. However, David, wearing knight armor, wielding a knight’s sword, and riding the Gray Wolf King, seemed unfamiliar to him. This generation’s Duke Frost Wolf hadn’t activated the Frost Wolf Bloodline even upon reaching adulthood, and it was no secret among the Northern Nobles that he likely never would. But now, this Duke of the Frost Wolf was riding a two-meter-tall Gray Wolf King, exuding a presence that even felt oppressive to him! Moreover, this Duke of the Frost Wolf appeared to possess the power to control the wolf pack. The wolf pack behind him numbered over a hundred, each half as tall as a person, and equally imposing. The knight attendants behind Viscount Eagle Wing showed serious expressions on their faces. "Viscount Eagle Wing, do you not salute upon seeing your lord?" David said calmly. The Eagle Wing Clan was subordinate to the Frost Wolf Clan, with Viscount Eagle Wing being a noble enfeoffed by the Duke of the Frost Wolf, thus needing to salute upon seeing him. But how could Viscount Eagle Wing comply so easily when he had always been scheming to conquer Frost Wolf Ridge, replace the Frost Wolf Clan, and take control of Frost Wolf Forest? "Just in time." Viscount Eagle Wing steeled his heart. Without hesitation, he ordered the knight order to charge. Upon seeing this, David rode the Gray Wolf King forward, with the Gray Wolf pack charging as well. In terms of numbers, Viscount Eagle Wing’s knights only numbered fifty, far fewer than the Gray Wolves. But Viscount Eagle Wing knew that as long as he could slay this Duke of the Frost Wolf, the remaining Gray Wolf pack wouldn’t pose too much of a threat to Eagle Wing Castle! The same was on David’s mind. Seeing Viscount Eagle Wing suddenly accelerating on his warhorse, he also spurred the Gray Wolf King forward. "Die!" Viscount Eagle Wing’s eyes flashed viciously as he suddenly leapt off his mount, sword in hand. He knew that a frontal assault against the Gray Wolf King wasn’t advantageous and relied on his speed for a swift kill. The Wind Eagle Bloodline granted unparalleled speed to its bearer. But to Viscount Eagle Wing’s surprise, David also jumped off the Gray Wolf King, waiting silently with his knight’s sword on hand. This young Frost Wolf Knight seemed recklessly intent on a direct duel! "Ha, though I don’t know when you awakened the Frost Wolf Bloodline." "But you’re too young, lacking the experience and time. How could you possibly be my opponent?!" Viscount Eagle Wing sneered internally, reversing the dagger in his hand, already sentencing the Frost Wolf Duke to death. The next moment, he activated the Wind Eagle Bloodline, a current whirling around him, further enhancing his speed by several notches. In the eyes of the knight attendants, Viscount Eagle Wing’s figure suddenly vanished, reappearing dozens of meters away! "Truly worthy of the viscount, such incredible speed." Admiration flashed in the eyes of the Eagle Wing Knight Order’s captain. Although he also had the Wind Eagle Bloodline and was an official knight, he was still far inferior to Viscount Eagle Wing! Kill him! Other knight attendants shouted excitedly. In an instant, Viscount Eagle Wing’s figure flickered behind David, thrusting his dagger forward! Bang! A resounding boom. Viscount Eagle Wing grinned maliciously. His all-out Wind Eagle Stab was unstoppable, even for a Tier Three Knight! Yet, as he thrust his dagger, he suddenly felt a powerful resistance blocking his attack! And just as confusion flashed in his mind, a terrifying chill suddenly spread! Instinctively sensing danger, Viscount Eagle Wing tried to retreat. But the icy power was faster, engulfing him entirely, causing his body to stiffen instantly! Frost Wolf Sword Skill, Frost Wolf Breath! David turned with a swing of his sword, imbued with a terrifying icy power! The Frost Wolf Breath skill was derived from the Frost Giant Wolf’s mastery of the Frost Breath ability itself. Now, he had mastered the true Frost Breath, greatly enhancing the power of Frost Wolf Breath! Viscount Eagle Wing immediately recognized the Frost Wolf Sword Skill, his heart filled with shock, never imagining its terrifying potency! In a critical moment, Viscount Eagle Wing desperately activated his bloodline power, swiftly retreating. Yet even so, his chest was pierced through! "How is this possible?!" Viscount Eagle Wing stared at his chest wound, bewildered. What should have been a sure-kill sneak attack was easily countered, and even led to his own injury! And that Frost Wolf Sword Skill nearly killed him outright; its power was inconceivable! Tier Three Knight! Or perhaps even stronger, maybe just a step away from an Earth Knight! Realizing this, Viscount Eagle Wing began to regret. This young Duke of the Frost Wolf was deeply hidden. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 He was no worthless noble unable to activate his bloodline, but a prodigy with even greater talent than the former duke! But regret was pointless now. Viscount Eagle Wing glanced at the Frost Wolf Duke and vanished from sight. He chose to flee instead of fighting! With the Wind Eagle Bloodline, he had a definite speed advantage. Whoosh— Yet, just as he escaped a short distance, a sound of slicing through the air was heard. David activated the Tier Five Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline, closing in on Viscount Eagle Wing with a swift strike! Although Viscount Eagle Wing’s speed was indeed quick, the slowing effect from the icy power reduced him to an average Tier Three Knight’s level. Boom! Instinctively, Viscount Eagle Wing turned to block. Upon collision, Viscount Eagle Wing felt an irresistibly powerful force, throwing him into the air!
